Gee son, I guess Lego Rock Raiders doesn't work anymore.Well, it's because the operating system Windows XP doesn't run it any more. Yes it is supposed to be better but sometimes this happens and you need to find a new program orpatch to fix Rock Raiders to work on Windows XP. What's that? Well if they don't have one, you just can't play this game. Sorry.

You can set up your WindowsXP machine to dual boot with Windows98 and then have choice to go to either O/S. Without getting into details on how to do this (look for other articles explaining this, and by the way you can do this without rebuilding your XP machine) it works fine. My son happily plays Rock Raiders again!

1. Open Start Menu2. Open Run3. Type DXDiag and press Run4. Go to the tab "Display", and disable "DirectDraw" - Notice, that this will disable "Microsoft Direct3D Hardware Acceleration" and "AGP Texture Acceleration".

- Also that many games and / or programs require this to function properly.5. Press close.6. Play!7. When done playing, enable "DirectDraw" again, so that youre computer may function normally again. This can be achieved by redoing steps 1 to 5 again, and making sure that all three types of DirectX Features are set as "Enabled"

To me it says "Error" - "No DirectX 3D accelerator could be found" Is it because it can't work with my Ati Radeon 9600 SE ??Or is it couse I have xp sp2 installed on?

Those of you that got LRR to run on XP, did you have any problems running the installer? I can't even get that to run. It thinks about it for a sec, then does nothing. Setup.exe is running in the process window but nothings happening. Any ideas short of a dual boot? Anybody tried a virtual machine or WINE?

I recently began playing LRR on my Media Center Edition and everything worked fine for a couple of days until today. I started getting error messages saying something about LEGORR.ICD or sumthin like that and it would crash. Now, about 2 minutes into the "Frozen Frenzy" mission it gives me this message every time and crashes. Before today,(when i began doing more snow missions if it matters) i never had this problem. Help!

I think if you buy a newer copy, it is Windows XP compatible since it now states the on my second copy which I bought recently. The previous old copy didn't say that. The new copy I have runs perfect, so my suggestion would be to buy a new copy.

BTW: This topic should be in the Rock Raiders PC forum, not the playstation forum.

I got the game to work great on windows 7 x64, and (first note: i did not change any DirectX settings.)here's how i did it:after putting in the CD, the autorun does __NOT__ work on Win7 (but it works after the game is installed, but not before.),so you must go "My Computer"->right click on "Rockraiders D:\" (or E: or F: or wherever you CD is located)-> click "Explore",now you should find a list of files, right-click on "Setup.exe" and press "Properties", now go "Compatibility"->"Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 2)", and mark "Run this program as an administrator", now press OK

Now, press on Setup.exe like 10 times (i don't know why, but it wont work if you just press 1 time), and wait a few minutes (it used a few minutes for me, after i had clicked allot on setup.exe, before it opened o.0)

And the game should now install just fine. But remember to write down where (what folder) you installed Rockraiders in.

Now that it's installed, when you try to run it, it will say "Error: missing DLL D3DRM.DLL" (or something close to that),to fix that error: get "D3DRM.DLL" file from somewhere (like your old windows XP/win98 computer should have it, or if you can find DirectX version 6 installer somewhere, or you can download the file from here, i uploaded it for you guys http://speedy.sh/YewaG/D3DRM.DLL ),and Put the file in the same folder as you installed Rock Raiders (for example i installed it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Media\Games\Rock Raiders\" , as the installer suggested )

and while you'r in that folder, right-click on "LegoRR.exe" and "Properties" and "Compatibility" and put following settings:"Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 98/Windows ME""Run this program in 640x480 screen resolution""Disable visual themes""Disable desktop composition""Disable display scaling on high DPI settings""Run this program as an administrator"
